The 2015-16 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season had all the makings of a memorable one for Khimki Moscow Region, but also one with ups and downs that saw the team come a win away from reaching the playoffs.

Union Olimpija Ljubljana started the week with the addition of forward Devin Oliver for the next season. Oliver (2.04 meters, 24 years old) arrives from Rouen of France, where last season he averaged 9.9 points and 6.7 rebounds in the French League. Oliver played college bacll at University of Dayton and after that he continued his career in Europe, having played in Belgium, Israel and France.

With less than two weeks remaining until the curtain rises on the FIBA EuroBasket 2017 Qualifiers, Russia head coach Sergey Bazarevich barely had time to rejoice at star center Timofey Mozgov’s injury turning out to be not serious, before receiving news that he might have to modify his game plans anyway because of the potential absence of another key player.
